What if Ryan could show you 3 ways of never buying a house but reaping all of the benefits of real estate investment? Find out how! Key Takeaways [:24] At 9 years old, Ryan used to read a kind of consumer report publication for children called Zillions — he was not the popular kid in school — that’s where he got his love of entrepreneurship, real estate and investing in general. [3:10] Initially, entrepreneurship was Ryan’s way of making enough money to become a real estate investor so he started buying single family real estate as soon as he was able to afford to. After doing it, he can openly say that it’s a mistake to do that if you are an entrepreneur. He explains why and moves on to what to do instead:   Go all in on your primary business and take your cash to put into passive income.   [8:00] The source of any income is never passive in and of itself, but it can be passive for you. Here are the three areas Ryan invests his own money: 1. Real Estate Investment Trust 2. Hard money lending 3. Real Estate S

No more so than releasing a product that anyone can copy.   Ryan built his most successful businesses around a cool idea for a group of people and then used Amazon as the delivery mechanism.   On the other hand his businesses that struggled were the ones trying to find the hole in the market and then release for that.   [5:20] He shares a super exciting new project he’s become an advisor for, he thinks he can get the company to 100k a month in the next 90 days.   There is no data to back this statement up: there is no demand for the product on Amazon, it’s never existed before, it’s twice the price of similar products on the market. How is he so confident?   [8:06] Lots of

For some reason, entrepreneurs seem to forget that mentorship is also a relationship like any other: you have to add value to it, or else you’re just another askhole.   Tune in for a 3 step on how where you need to be and what you need to do to find and keep a good mentor.   Key Takeaways [:24] “Hey Ryan! will you mentor me?” No. [1:42] The one-on-one mentor/mentee relationship is very important — and just like any relationship — you have to make deposits in order to withdraw.   Here is what you need to do to find a mentor:   Right place [2:28] put yourself in a position to identify and meet the type of person you want to enter into a mentoring relationship with.

This episode is about what it looks like to put together million dollar offers and about why it would go much faster if you were dialed in: even idiots get rich.   (Or to paraphrase Michael Scott from The Office: K.I.S.S.: Keep it simple, stupid)   Tune in for some great insight and straightforward tricks from Travis Sago of Bum Marketing.   Key Takeaways [3:26] Ryan introduces one of the people that has had the most impact on his life, his mentor Travis Sago.   [4:11] Simplicity and specificity of offers is one of the lessons that Travis had been waiting for Ryan to understand.   Offers x Execution = Business Success.   If you have a great product for the market (Offer) and build it, market it, and distribute it well (Execution), then you’ve “won” at business. That’s all there is to it.   It’s possible to do well with an awesome product and okay execution, or with a mediocre product and great execution, but you’ll find greater success doing well at both.   [6:15] Ryan shares his struggles with ideas he think

More than once   Key Takeaways [3:57] Joel introduces himself and explains that the strategies he’s about to share are all things he has spent the last decade successfully implementing into his business ventures.   [10:48] When it comes to income vs impact opinions differ, Joel sets everyone straight: Go for impact and income will follow?

If you only push the sale and don’t have a great product, you will have short lived income.   In truth, both are equ

How did AJ know he was sitting on something special? It’s a complex answer:   1. Opportunity. A major part of where Vaynermedia is today takes root in Gary’s and AJ’s 2006-7 belief that social media was the new frontier in c

STOP THE PHONE [3:00] Be intentional about the use of your time from the moment you wake up.

START JOURNALING [7:04]

Today’s episode is an excerpt from the Freedom Fast Lane Live 2015 (now known as the Capitalism Conference) with Jeff Hoffman.   Tune in for the Q&A section of this very popular talk with the well known billionaire.   Key Takeaways   Q. Thoughts on funding.   [2:26] For some reason, everytime Jeff asks entrepreneurs what their sources of funding are, no one says ‘customers’. He blames Silicon Valley for all the loans, bank debt, private equity, venture capital and this idea that you need to get the funding NOW.   List everything you need to do for your business to reach your definition of success, and circle all of the things you can do without anyone else’s money. Then do them.   If you need money, ask yourself if you can you sell something. Creative ways to finance your company through customers should always be your first attempt.   Borrowing money from somebody else should only come after you’ve done everything you can think of.   Q. Thoughts on money.   [4:43] Jeff would literally divide his money in

Today, Ryan talks about a product that integrated itself into his life journey and why he chose to invest in it.

He was the first person in his family to buy the new car he wanted. Bruce, the Kia Sportage. He still owns Bruce. [1:38] Once he started making legitimate money but more importantly when he found out he was going to be a father, he decided to give Bruce to his partner, and started looking for his new car. [2:05] How do you feel driving a Tesla? New. Ryan bought the Tesla a little bit for the insane button, but this car reflected his growth, and gave him the confidence to be what he felt he had evolved into. It was an investmen

Today Ryan shares some tips on staying motivated, even when entrepreneurship becomes hard, lonely business. Tune in for 3 practical things you can do to keep yourself on track as well as some down-to-earth real life examples of how those practices helped Ryan through some tougher moments.   Key Takeaways [:28] Dopamine floods your brain when you start a new business, you are full of energy and drive, but it doesn’t stay there long term so today is going to be about sustaining momentum.   [1:42] First things first, entrepreneurship is very hard and it will demand more of you than you could ever imagine.

[11:00] Hal shares a key aspect of what his brushes with death have taught him: if you cannot change something, there is no sense in wishing you could, or laying blame.

Only you have power over your emotional states. [13:10] Hal’s perception of life has changed through

Freedom is not money, freedom is doing the things that make you happy. The purpose of money, the only reason money matters, is to sustain the life you want. If you want to be free, then you have to know what you want. But asking the questions that will lead you to figuring out what it is you want is a very hard job. Like Ryan did, most people will go after the money believing that once they have that, they can make a grab for freedom. The troublesome thing that happens when you do that though is that the money itself becomes the purpose, and your life has none. Ryan has boiled financial freedom into 5 steps to follow so tune in to learn the way — but do be careful, these steps need to happen in this exact order for the system not to break.   Key Takeaways   1. Decide [4:17]: you are absolutely required to decide, what you want your life to be like and be clear about it, don’t make it someone else’s life or belongings — don’t covet. Decide what you want and pull it into the present. 2. Cut out [6:26]: you don
